Here it is: Dear Friends: We have dane it. My God, can it be true? That's the feeling that runs thraugh the minds o! we lads here today. One hour aga at 8 a'clack, we fired the last round fired by Canadians on the west- ern front. Yesterday and even last night there was war ail araund us. Now the guns are sulent. It seems im- possible. We boys, who were only boys when we joined up, but who feel sa much alder naw, have with the help of our buddies in the air and an the sea, comn- pletely knocked aut the great German army that two years ago was running aver ail Europe. All around us the Huns are running around tryîng ta find out ta whom ta surrender. We've just seen a sigbt neyer ta be for- gotten. A lone Spitfire flew aver us where aur guns are sitting and he gave us a salute with a Vic- tory roll, then away into the blue. Yau could almost bear bim say- ing, 'nice wark lads, we did it together". Yes folks we lived ta fire the last shats but there were many nat here ta see the end. To them we pay aur bighest tribute.1 Ta themn we bow aur beads and say, "There'll always be in some fareign fields a spot that will for- ever be Canada."

HENDERSON The death occurred in Bow- manville Hospital, on May l9th, of Minnie McFeeters, beloved wife of W. W. Henderson, Bowman- ville, aged 75 years.

Bowmanville Dairy Phone 446 or 703 CCF MEETING (Cantinued from page one) ling in the air for speculation of the audience. Cantinuing, Mr. Bowles lapsed into his habitual attack an Can- ada Packgrs, City Dairy, stock- splitting monopolies crushing the if e out o! farmers. Flatly he stated we shaîl socialize them all including banks, financial insti- tutions, and bring them into line with public service enterprise sucb as Hydra, T.T.C., Public Schools, Public Highways, and s0 forth. But he gave full credit ta Conservative Adam Beck for in- stituting Hydra, an admission that the forerunners o! the Drew gavernment, as they did then and are daing today, are progressive- ly for non-competitive, plebian contrai. William L. Lycett, the second speaker, candidate for the Ontario Legîslature, wben speaking, com- menced moderately ta expaund CCF Socialist doctrines and fin- ally warmed up ta attack the edf- itar o! The Statesman for an edi- tonial telling that public servants and preachers accepting food and living from taxpayers apposed ta their views, sbould resign and preach ta their heart's content as individuals. He saw in this, strangely, an attack on democratic prerogatives, no matter who put up the money for their cbildren's education. He told that he had resigned as a school teacher two weeks aga before nominations, inferentially in agreement with The States- man's suggestion. Waxing elo- quent on the theme o! Bowles' "Monopoly Contrai" Mn. Lycett shouted: "Tbat's what Hitler said: 'Dare oppose me and you'll lose youn jobs"' and ad infin, and other slogans a la Hitler. He charged The Statesman did nat tell what Cass-Beggs said at Orana, that saldiers overseas vat- ed 2-1 against aid line parties. He was sure that Christian Democ- racy would prevail when the OCF taok power. Altbougb a success- ful school teacher of 16 years' standing the speaker made no mention of education as was ex- pected. Fnam bis silence on this important subi ect it was supposed be was in agreement witb the Drew educational policy. Hon. J. H. Sturdy, last speaker, was more modenate than bis pre- decessors. No doubt impressed with the fact that neither Bawles nor Lycett bad one word ta say about what tbey would do for Durham County, if elected; that their whole discourse was de- structive criticism, be sougbt ta tell what the CCF gavernment had donc in Saskatchewan in the past nine months. Sturdy made a fine impression. He stuck ta the facts in the case, witbout arm- waving, necriminations, or the arts that were designed ta bring "1amens" fnom the few praselytes wbo bad responded ta the Dur- ham candidates. Sturdy told a straigbt-forward story of wbat his government bad actually donc. Like Bowles, bis family, too, had. came from Ire- land, settled in 1832 in Western Ontario, but bis bachelor brother was stili on the same land, even if neighbors had disappeared. His gavennment was concerned witb tbree primary tbings: 1. Legisla- tion for farmers and workers; 2. Legisiation for social security; 3. Develapment of natural resaunces for benefit o! aIl tbe people. And be quoted legislation ta prove that promises were carried out. Social welfare, widow's and un- employable's allowances, yautb pnajects, fitness programs, educa- tion, adolescent and adult, labor and farm legisiation, were ail taken care of in enactments a! tbe CCF gavernment. Farmers form- ed the largest body o! legislatune members and tbey ca-aperated witb labor members. Sa far as socialist industnialization was cancerned, tbe CCF bad maved in line witb its palicies. Their govennment had set up in the brick-making induÈtry ta, pre- pare for better homes. They were taking aven the clectrie power resources. Tbey bad taken over the industry o! taking bancs out o! fish. They bave plans to start a plant at Swift Current ta kill and strip the flesh from 300,- 000 horses and ship the meat ta Belgium.
